Outlander Book 9 synopsis
What is Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone about? If you’ve read some of Diana Gabaldon’s Daily Lines, you’ll get an idea. There are some small snippets of events to come, and we also know that a certain set of characters are back with the Frasers. Brianna, Roger, Jemmy, and Amanda are back in the 18th century and ready for what’s to come.
What is to come? It’s all about the Revolutionary War. The year is 1779 and tensions in the Colonies are high. Even in the North Carolina backcountry, those tensions are felt. It doesn’t help for the Frasers and MacKenzies that they know exactly what’s to come.
For Brianna and Roger, they had to escape their own time to the past. However, the dangers of their own time may end up catching up to them. Just how safe has their decision to head to the 18th century been for them, especially considering the medicine and the impending war of the time?
There are also focuses on William Ransom, who has discovered his real lineage. We get a bit more about Lord John Grey, who will eventually find himself on the opposite side of the war to Jamie and is still trying to mend that friendship, and there’s Young Ian and Rachel, who are starting their lives together.
The stakes are high, and we couldn’t be more excited to see what’s to come.
Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone is coming out on Nov. 23. Pre-order on Amazon now.
